This is, by far, the most comprehensive and complete poster
on seashells ever published. Magnificent illustrations accurately
portray 140 specimens, all accompanied by captions citing common
name, biological name, size and where they are found. There are
over 100,000 mollusks, so extensive research went into selecting
the species to be shown. They include representatives from all
major biological groups. Special care was taken to show the most
common shells - the ones often found on American beaches - and
those widely available in shell and souvenir shops. Often the only
difference between species is color and the design pattern. Thus
this poster is also very helpful in identifying species that are
not shown. This is a truly beautiful poster that makes a handsome
addition to any decor. It also provides an easy way for the novice
collector to quickly identify the results of his beachcombing.
